Big Drums From One of Today's Top Prog Rock Drummers!

This product is a multi-sampled Premier® "Phil Collins-style" drum kit made to be played from Sonic Reality’s Infinite Player. It was recorded in Pasadena, California at "Mower Studios" with progressive rock drummer Nick D Virgilio. It is a large sized kit and features Timbales as toms which is something Phil Collins used to do in the early 70's. A rare sounding vintage kit!. Ross Garfield, the Drum Doctor, provided the set for Nick with tweaking and tuning to reproduce this particular character drum sound. This kit was recorded with snares on and is a variation of the main NDV Premier kit with Timbales swapped out for the regular tom set.

ProFile on Nick D Virgilio:

Nick D Virgilio aka "NDV" is one of today's top modern rock / progressive rock drummers.  He has worked with Genesis, Spock's Beard, Tears For Fears, Kevin Gilbert, Jordan Rudess, Mike Keneally, as well as numerous other side and solo projects.  Nick delivers everything from solid pop grooves to quirky odd time signature progressive rock rhythms and is one of the only drummers to have a fluid effortless feel on par with that of one of the most distinct sounding drummers in rock history, Phil Collins.

Sonic Notes:

Quote from Dave Kerzner of Sonic Reality about Nick D Virgilio: "I used to play with Nick in Kevin Gilbert's band. He is certainly one of the best drummers I ve ever played with and I ve always been blown away by his talents as a musician. He has been a tremendous help to Sonic Reality in many areas from assistance in the presentation of Ocean Way Drums and more. Like Nick I too am a fan of Genesis and Tears for Fears as well as the late Kevin Gilbert who we both had the fortune to collaborate with. So, for his ProFile we set out to do various sessions at Kevin's old studio to capture various classic BIG drum sounds we both liked. Even though Nick is a Mapex endorsed drummer, I suggested that we also sample a classic Premier® and Gretsch® kit to emulate a progressive rock and Genesis style sound. During those sessions at Mower we also sampled additional snares including the Tama® snare that was used on Nirvana's Nevermind album as well as a vintage 40's Leedy kit all of which are coming out separately for the Infinite Player as well. Those kit pieces and extra snares plus the NDV Premier and Gretsch kits provide some nice kit pieces for swapping when you re making custom kits since they share similar elements like the sound of that big room. While we didn t record many grooves for the Gretsch and Leedy kits, we DID record multi-track grooves from around 40 different Genesis songs plus grooves from Tears for Fears, Spock's Beard and Kevin Gilbert. Those multi-track grooves may eventually be released for the Infinite Player at some point as well."

Mapping Modes: iMap, GM, V-Drum, Custom

iMap

iMap is a proprietary MIDI note mapping/drum kit layout scheme developed by Sonic Reality that facilitates improved live performance of drum kits via MIDI keyboard. iMap places drums in their most flexible and intuitive position, allowing each of the fingers on both hands independent and coordinated control over the sampled kit. With little practice, it is possible to lay down complete drum grooves in a single take that have incredible feel and groove. I-Map has left and right stick positions per drum as well as a variety of positions from center to edge to rim. It includes additional performance articulations you don’t often get from other drum products such as left and right keys for snare rolls, separate ghost notes, hat foot open, chokes, crashing rides and more.

GM (General MIDI)

GM is the classic mapping format for standard  MIDI files. Sonic Reality’s IMAP/GM remapping button works by putting selected IMAP notes remapped to GM notes instead. You can change an entire multi kit from IMAP to GM with one simple key switch. This offers the best of cutting edge expression without sacrificing universal compatibility with GM MIDI loops.

V-Drum

All Drum Masters 2 kits have been mapped for Roland's TD-20 V-Drum brain.  V-Drum mapping features include a snare drum rimshot/sidestick switch and intricate hi-hat articulation controls.   Round robin randomization and detailed articulation sampling introduce a realistic approach to e-drumming!

Custom

Assign any articulation of any instrument to any MIDI note!  By either using the MIDI Learn function or an interface knob, this mapping panel allows for ultimate flexibility for use with any electronic drum kit, multi-pad controller or any other MIDI device.
